Just came across this as I was searching for something else and thought it may help others with their fiber storage solutions.

Take care, MarilynThat is a great site.
I'm now spoiled with Dave's fiber flingers.
HAPPY NEW YEARS everyone.
Kate
Thanks Kate...it also links to a couple of getting organized sites that are also helpful.....LOL Just what we all need with the start of a new year just around the corner :o) Kenda has shared the picture of Dave's F.F.F's so they may be equally effective in Scotland but I also like the idea on the site where you organise by colour and link them on a key/book ring if you are going to classes/crops. Perhaps a trial run with both may be in order....ROFL
Happy New Year from Scotland, Marilyn
Thanks for sharing. What a great site!!
Chrissy
Neat idea! I have tons of wider ribbon & lace, what a great way to get them all together:>)
Tks Marilyn
Your welcome Trish :o) I haven't tackled the wider ribbon but I have made a variation on Dave's F.F.F's and I am going to house them in a ring binder using the clear DMC Stitchbow Wallets

You can see at a glance what you have and I have a neat clear pouch that I had left over from beauty products that I could use if I just wanted to take a few to a class/crop. Take care, Marilyn
I do have a few pages of the DMC stitchbows& holders. & I did receive some of Dave's FFF's for Christmas, (which are a great idea BTW) But I have sooooooo many fibers here. I definatly have to go through them again!:>)
I love funky textures, so even in my knitting,crocheting , sewing , & other craft projects, I've gathered an abundance of bits!:>)(LOL)
(blushing - thanks for the FFF comments!)
Actually I see no competition. I love tose card ideas too if you have especially a bunch of different types and are a FIBER FLOOZY!!! I thought about the fff's as they fit in a small container, or drawer and if you happen to have more than one scrap of a fiber, I wanted to share them with everyone and hopefully over next year or so, everyone have enough where you could just fling the flying fiber thingy in the mail for a swaP with that duplicate scarp or with one you do not want anymore or like.
Thanks for the greta link Marilyn!
OKC Dave

and I am going to do the ribbons now in the other 2. I have decided that I will put them in the DMC Stitchbow wallet if I need to transport them to class/crop (which I have never been to anyway) :o) Thank you so much for the great idea Dave and I think my mountboard version will transport for swaps easily too!!!!! Take care, Marilyn
looks good Marilyn:>)
Looks good Marilyn. Want to come over and organize my fibers?
Pass on that offer Cathy....I have another pile of "must do's" to tackle LOL It will be about July before I get them all organised ROFL Anyway.....isn't it very wet in Southern California right now...I need sunshine...not rain....hahahaha
Take care, Marilyn
Actually today was sunny and about 84 degrees, but it will be down in the low 70's by Saturday! Too bad I was sick in bed all day. :-(
Awww....I hope you feel better soon Cathy!
Take care, Marilyn
Thanks, I'm better today, but still taking it easy.
I hope you are feeling better!
